Answer:

D. Cylinder

Explanation:

Consider the rectangle that has to be rotated about the axis as shown in the picture. In attached diagrams this rectangle is black rectangle ABCD.

While rotating each point of the rectangle will describe the circle. The circles with the greatest radii will be circles made by the points from the side that is opposite to the side on the axis of rotation.

Formed figure appear to be cylinder.
